Why Toshiba won't let Micron acquire SanDisk?

Market analysts believe that SanDisk's partner company Toshiba would give its blessings to Western Digital and not its rival memory chip maker Micron.

If Micron, which owns its private foundries were to buy SanDisk, Toshiba could lose a lot its business.

Micron has a viable niche in the 'NAND-flash memory' business and an alliance with SanDisk will greatly increase the competition for Toshiba.

Why SanDisk needs Toshiba's approval?

SanDisk employs Toshiba's foundries to manufacture its chips and the two organizations have an essential "intellectual property-sharing joint venture" which makes Toshiba's approval a necessity.
